New Technical Tour Announced For The National Conference
The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) building is a $AUD1.1 billion purpose-built facility opening in July 2016. It is Australia’s first facility conceived and designed to save lives by connecting the world’s best in cancer research, education, treatment and care. The centre is part of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. It hosts cancer research, treatment, education and care.
The 13 storey building was completed in June 2016. It is two kilometers from Melbourne’s city centre and facilities include:
160 overnight inpatient cancer beds
110 same-day beds
access to a 42-bed capacity intensive care unit
a dedicated clinical trials unit
more than 25,000 square metres of research space
eight operating theatres and two procedure rooms
eight radiation therapy bunkers
six linear accelerators
47 seminar and meeting room spaces
three lecture theatres.
Two covered bridges link Peter Mac with The Royal Melbourne Hospital across Grattan Street. These bridges allow patients, visitors and staff to move between the buildings and facilitate access to Royal Melbourne Hospital’s intensive care unit.
Join us to get a behind the scenes tour of the facility, only available as part of the National Conference registration.
